I pretty much agree with Zwei, but I'd add that I'm looking forward to see what Mark Webber can do with a better car (if he gets better luck next year) and I'm also looking forward to how things will develop this year with Juan Pablo Montoya. But as said, pity about the V8s and the head people at F1. The biggest dissapointment, I'd say, BMW-Williams. They need to be in the fight and I wanted it to be a good one this year between renault, Mclaren and BMW. But they didn't make it. Hope williams crawls back into the fight next year even w/o BMW. but pity bmw wasn't up to expectations this year.

I just can't believe the small credit Alonso is receiving. He's the champion, for god's sake!. It almost looks like it stole the title or something!.

In my opinion, Alonso was the fastest when it was needed, and the most intelligent when it was needed too. How many cars did Raikkonen brake? How many mistakes did he commit? And then, how many Alonso? Everybody says Raikkonen was faster, but having the fastest car that's not that special. How many races would have him won driving for Renault and against the McLaren team? Alonso won 7 races, the same than the supposedly 'best driver of the year', but with a slower car. Doesn't that mean something? Who won the last race of the season, when the pressure of the title was gone and there was no need to be conservative?

For me the Alonso-Raikkonen comparison is similar that the one between Renault and McLaren: Raikkonen may be fast, but very unreliable. Alonso is as fast, but more intelligent and VERY reliable. He has made the most effective driving of all the contenders. He hardly makes a mistake, but he has demonstrated that he can be as spectacular as anyone: just look the overtake to Schumacher in Japan, in the fastest corner of the whole championship. Even Schumacher said he couldn't believe it when he did it.

Well, whatever. History only remembers the champions. I'm sorry if i offended any Raikkonen fan, but i get very angry everytime Alonso is neglected the merit he deserves. Just to end: Ron Dennis should use some fair play and humility instead of showing off how jealous he is.

Most Improved Team - Definetily ToyotaBest Team - Toyota (IMO) Best Car - Merc and RenaultBiggest Dissapointment - Ferrari (in terms of team, but im glad they didnt repeat last year coz that was boring) and American GP (in terms of event where only 7 cars ran the race... very annoying too and if MS didnt win that i think his season coulda been worse)Biggest Surprise - ToyotaWhat im lookin forward to for 2006 - Toyota's performance (hopefully it gets even better)

Alonso intelligent? um...no. His mistake in Canada cost him the win. AND, it was the one of the few times Alonso was under pressure. See, Alonso didn't need to push half of the year because of the gain he had. Kimi was pushing like a mad man from the first race trying to catch up.

Mclaren DNF's can be mostly blames on the their carbon fibre gearbox. It had a bunch of hydro problems and breaking shafts. But it's the first of it's kind on the field.
